Event Info

ALA/ProQuest Scholarship Bash
Saturday, at 8:00 pm
Hilton Washington International Ballroom
Satire, political humor, belly laughs and barrels of fun are guaranteed in the funniest Scholarship Bash ever. Join Mark Russell, star of PBS’s Mark Russell Comedy Specials, nightclub entertainer and the man who claims to have 535 writers helping him with his material (100 Senators and 435 Representatives), who will tickle you with his jokes and songs. Plus the ever-popular Capitol Steps will continue the evening with their side-splitting skits and music while they skewer the goings on “inside the Beltway”. Have a great time and support future librarians. Tickets are only $35.00 and available through ALA registration on-site until sold out. Bring your friends and family. It’s fun for all. The ALA/ProQuest Scholarship Bash has raised $350,000 for Spectrum Scholarships since its inception in 2000.

General Information for Volunteers

If you have purchased a ticket to the Bash, please arrive at the start. Let the usher know you are a Spectrum Scholar. You should be seated at the front in a VIP area for scholars. In between the performers, ProQuest representatives will take the stage and make announcements. They will introduce Maria Carpenter, Spectrum Scholar Interest Group Chair, who will make a few remarks. Sonia Alcantara and two other scholars will be holding a cake with lit candles. After Maria's remarks, she'll ask everyone to sing Happy Birthday, blow out the candles, and shout really loud. We may have paper streamers for you to toss up - but tie one side around your wrist so you can easily drag them off stage with you as you leave. Please no mess for the headliner, and also no catching them on fire :-) Thanks all!

Scholars who have not purchased a ticket can queue up at the entrance to the Bash (around 8:15pm) and will be escorted on-stage at the right time by a Bash Volunteer or other paid scholar. Please depart after your time on stage!
